CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application is a U.S. National Stage Application of PCT/US19/54803, filed Oct. 4, 2019, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/741,945, filed Oct. 5, 2018, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to inhibiting Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 30 (USP30), including novel compounds and methods for inhibiting USP30. The compounds and related methods are useful in the field of medicine including the development of new therapies (e.g., for the treatment of conditions related to the therapeutic inhibition of USP30 such as Parkinson's Disease (PD)).

BACKGROUND

The ubiquitination system is a highly regulated process which affects a wide variety of cellular activities and physiological processes. Ubiquitination is a reversible process, facilitated by a group of proteins known as deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), which deconjugate ubiquitin (Ub) from the substrate. DUBs are encoded by approximately 100 human genes and are divided into six families, with the largest family being the ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) with more than 50 members.

Ubiquitination regulates mitochondrial dynamics and biogenesis, affecting the abundance and function of these organelles. Mitochondria serve many functions to maintain cell health in mammals, including generating ATP. As mitochondria age they become damaged, losing their metabolic functionality, and begin releasing pro-apoptotic proteins. Mitochondria self-regulate their quality via the mechanism of mitophagy, which is the selective removal of damaged mitochondria from the cell. Ubiquitination of mitochondrial proteins is believed to contribute to mitochondrial dynamics in mammalian cells, possibly by “flagging” those proteins for inactivation. Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 30 (USP30) is embedded in the outer membrane of mitochondria, where it participates in the maintenance of mitochondrial morphology. It is believed that over-expression of USP30 can lead to a decrease in mitophagy.

Inactivating mutations in PINK1 and Parkin can impair mitophagy and result in accumulation of damaged mitochondria and neuronal toxicity, which has been implicated in Parkinson's Disease. USP30 opposes the ligase activity of Parkin and is a negative regulator of mitophagy. USP30 inhibition is expected to promote mitophagy and restore mitochondrial health.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure relates to compounds of formula (I), as defined herein, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising same, and medical uses involving same. In some embodiments, the compounds of formula (I) are USP30 Inhibitor Compounds. In other embodiments, the compounds of formula (I) are useful, for example, as analytical tools and/or control compounds in biological assays (e.g., compounds of any of the following aspects and embodiments that are not USP30 Inhibitor Compounds).

USP30 Inhibitor Compounds are useful in the development of new therapies for Parkinson's disease (PD), and in methods of treating diseases or conditions by inhibiting USP30 (such as PD). Parkin (E3 ubiquitin ligase) and PINK1 (kinase) are key regulators of mitophagy. In healthy mitochondria, PINK1 localization to the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) and exposure to the cytosol is limited by rapid import to the mitochondrial inner membrane (MIM). Once localized to the MIM, PINK1 is processed by several proteases, such as presenilin associated rhomboid-like protease (PARL), to yield a truncated version of PINK1 which is subsequently degraded by the proteasome (Meissner et al., Autophagy. 2015, 11(9), 1484-1498). Upon mitochondrial depolarization or dysfunction, PINK1 accumulates in the MOM, recruiting and activating Parkin via PINK1-dependent phosphorylation of both ubiquitin and Parkin. Consequently, activated Parkin ubiquitinates MOM proteins like TOMM20 to trigger mitophagy (Pickrell et al., Neuron. 2015, 85(2), 257-273). USP30 is embedded in the MOM with its catalytic DUB domain oriented towards the cytosol and has been shown to antagonize Parkin-mediated ubiquitination of common substrates, consequently opposing Parkin-mediated mitophagy. Genetic silencing of USP30 results in increased ubiquitination of several Parkin substrates followed by increased mitophagy. In model organisms, USP30 depletion is able to rescue mitophagy defects caused by pathogenic Parkin mutations, as well as restore mitochondria morphology and function, and dopamine levels. (Nakamura, et al., Mol Biol Cell. 2008, 19(5), 1903-1911; Bingol, et al., Nature 2014, 510(7505):370-5). Therefore, inhibition of USP30 with a compound disclosed herein could present a novel treatment paradigm for PD by promoting mitochondrial turnover.

Example 1 Ubiquitin-Rhodamine 110 Assay for USP30 Activity

The assay was performed in a final volume of 9 μL in assay buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0, (1M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 solution; Corning 46-031-CM)), 1 mM GSH (L-glutathione reduced, Sigma-Aldrich, G4251-100G), 0.03% BGG (0.22 μM filtered, Sigma, G7516-25G), and 0.01% Triton X-100 (Sigma, T9284-10 L). Nanoliter quantities of 10-point, 3-fold serial dilution in DMSO were pre-dispensed into 1536 assay plates (Corning, #3724BC) for a final test concentration of 25 μM to 1.3 nM, top to lowest dose, respectively. Concentration and incubation times were optimized for the maximal signal-to-background while maintaining initial velocity conditions at a fixed substrate concentration. The final concentration of USP30 (human recombinant USP30, Boston Biochem, cat. #E-582) in the assay was 0.2 nM. Final substrate (Ub-Rh110; Ubiquitin-Rhodamine 110, UbiQ-126) concentration was 25 nM with [Ub-Rh110]<<Km. 3 μL of 2×USP30 was added to assay plates (pre-stamped with compound), preincubated for 30 minutes and then treated with 3 μL of 2×Ub-Rh110. Plates were incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature before addition of 3 μL of stop solution (final concentration of 10 mM citric acid (Sigma, 251275-500G)). Fluorescence was read on the Envision (excitation at 485 nm and emission at 535 nm; Perkin Elmer) or on the PheraSTAR (excitation at 485 nm and emission at 535 nm; BMG Labtech) fluorescence reader.

For all assay formats, data were reported as percent inhibition compared with control wells based on the following equation: % inh=1−((FLU−AveLow)/(AveHigh−AveLow)) where FLU=measured Fluorescence, AveLow=average Fluorescence of no enzyme control (n=16), and AveHigh=average Fluorescence of DMSO control (n=16). IC₅₀ values were determined by curve fitting of the standard 4 parameter logistic fitting algorithm included in the Activity Base software package: IDBS XE Designer Mode1205. Data is fitted using the Levenburg Marquardt algorithm.

The calculated IC₅₀ values of the compounds described herein are reported in Table 3, where A represents an IC₅₀ of <0.1 μM, B represents an IC₅₀ of 0.1 to 1.0 μM, and C represents an IC₅₀ of >1.0 μM. Compounds in the USP30 biochemical assay were deemed active if the IC₅₀ was ≤1 μM.
